< Esther 1 >

1 In the dayes of Ahashuerosh (this is Ahashuerosh that reigned, from India euen vnto Ethiopia, ouer an hundreth, and seuen and twentie prouinces)
Wanni bara mootummaa Ahashweroos keessa taʼe kanaa dha: Ahashweroos kun Hindiidhaa jalqabee hamma Itoophiyaatti kutaalee biyyaa 127 bulchaa ture;
2 In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan,
yeroo sanatti Ahashweroos Mootichi, Suusaa magaalaa guddoo sana keessa teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼee bulchaa ture;
3 In the third yeere of his reigne, he made a feast vnto all his princes and his seruants, euen the power of Persia and Media, and to the captaines and gouernours of the prouinces which were before him,
innis bara mootummaa isaa keessaa waggaa sadaffaatti namoota isaa bebeekamoo fi qondaaltota isaa hundumaaf cidha guddaa tokko qopheesse. Hooggantoonni waraana Faaresii fi Meedee, ilmaan moototaa fi namoonni bebeekamoon kutaa biyyaa achi turan.
4 That he might shewe the riches and glorie of his kingdome, and the honour of his great maiestie many dayes, euen an hundreth and foure score dayes.
Innis bultii 180 guutuu qabeenya mootummaa isaa guddaa, miidhagummaa fi ulfina jabina isaa gad baasee argisiisaa ture.
5 And when these dayes were expired, the King made a feast to all the people that were founde in the palace of Shushan, both vnto great and small, seuen dayes, in the court of the garden of the Kings palace,
Yeroo guyyoonni kunneen darbanitti mootichi saba gamoo Suusaa keessa jiraatu xinnaa fi guddaa hundaaf oobdii iddoo biqiltuu masaraa mootii keessatti cidha guyyaa torba turu qopheesse.
6 Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and blue clothes, fastened with cordes of fine linen and purple, in siluer rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of golde, and of siluer vpon a pauement of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and blue colour.
Iddoon biqiltuu sunis golgaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame adii fi cuquliisa, kirrii adii fi diimaa dhiilgeedhaan qubeelaa meetii kan utubaawwan dhagaa akka cabbiitti hidhame tokko qaba ture. Sireewwan dinkiin kanneen warqee fi meetii irraa hojjetamanis lafa dhagaa diimaadhaan, dhagaa akka cabbiitiin, lula bifa adda addaa qabuu fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan miidhagfamee hafame irra ture.
7 And they gaue them drinke in vessels of golde, and changed vessel after vessel, and royall wine in abundance according to the power of the King.
Dhugaatiinis xoofoo warqeetiin namaaf dhiʼeeffame. Tokkoon tokkoon xoofoo sanaas gosa adda addaa ture; daadhiin wayiniis akkuma arjummaa mootichaatti akka malee baayʼee ture.
8 And the drinking was by an order, none might compel: for so the King had appoynted vnto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to euery mans pleasure.
Akka tokkoon tokkoon keessummaa akkuma fedhetti dhuguuf mootichi eeyyamee ture; akka tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif waan inni barbaade dhiʼeessaniifis mootichi warra daadhii wayinii dhiʼeessan hunda ajajee tureetii.
9 The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh.
Waashtiin Mootittiinis masaraa mootummaa Ahashweroos Mootichaa keessatti dubartootaaf cidha qopheessite.
10 Vpon the seuenth daye when the King was merie with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seuen eunuches, (that serued in the presence of King Ahashuerosh)
Guyyaa torbaffaatti Ahashweroos Mootichi yeroo daadhii wayinii dhugee gammadetti xuʼaashiiwwan isa tajaajilan torban jechuunis Mihuumaan, Biztaaʼaa, Harboonaa, Bigtaaʼa, Abaagtaa, Zeetaarinii fi Karkas
11 To bring Queene Vashti before the King with the crowne royall, that he might shewe the people and the princes her beautie: for shee was fayre to looke vpon.
akka isaan Waashtiin mootittii akka isheen namootaa fi qondaaltotatti barreedina ishee argisiiftuuf gonfoo mootummaa isheetti kaaʼanii fuula isaa duratti dhiʼeessan ajaje; isheen akka malee bareedduu turteetii.
12 But the Queene Vashti refused to come at the Kings worde, which he had giuen in charge to the eunuches: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
Garuu yeroo ergamoonni sun ergaa mootichaa itti himanitti Waashtiin Mootittiin dhufuu didde. Kana irratti mootichi akka malee dheekkamee aariidhaan gubate.
13 Then the King said to the wise men, that knew the times (for so was the Kings maner towards all that knew the law and the iudgement:
Sababii waan seeraatii fi murtii qajeelaa irratti hayyootaan mariʼachuun bartee mootichaa taʼeef inni namoota ogeeyyii waan baraa beekan
14 And the next vnto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seuen princes of Persia and Media, which sawe the Kings face, and sate the first in the kingdome)
kanneen mootichatti aananiin mariʼate; isaanis Karshenaa, Sheetaar, Adimaataa, Tarshiish, Meres, Marseenaa fi Memuukaa qondaaltota Faaresii fi Meedee torban mootichaan walitti dhiʼeenya qaban kanneen mootummaa sana keessatti iddoo ol aanaa qabanii dha.
15 What shall we do vnto the Queene Vashti according to the law, because she did not according to the worde of the King Ahashuerosh by the commission of the eunuches?
Innis, “Akka seeraatti wanti nu Waashtiin mootittii gochuu qabnu maali? Isheen ajaja Ahashweroos Mootichaa kan xuʼaashiiwwan isheetti geessan sanaaf hin ajajamneetii” jedhee isaan gaafate.
16 Then Memucan answered before the King and the Princes, The Queene Vashti hath not only done euill against the King, but against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh.
Memuukaan akkana jedhee fuula mootichaatii fi fuula namoota bebeekamoo duratti deebii kenne; “Waashtiin mootittiin Mooticha qofatti utuu hin taʼin qondaaltota hundattii fi namoota kutaalee biyyaa Ahashweroos Mootichaa hundatti balleessaa hojjette.
17 For the acte of the Queene shall come abroade vnto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their owne eyes, and shall say, The King Ahashuerosh comanded Vashti the Queene to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Wanni mootittiin goote kun dubartii hunda biratti beekamee isaan, ‘Ahashweroos Mootichi akka Waashtiin Mootittiin fuula isaa duratti dhiʼeeffamtu ajajee ture; isheen garuu dhaquu didde’ jedhanii dhirsoota isaanii tuffatuutii.
18 So shall the princesses of Persia and Media this day say vnto all the Kings Princes, when they heare of the acte of the Queene: thus shall there be much despitefulnesse and wrath.
Guyyuma harʼaa kana iyyuu dubartoonni Faaresii fi Meedee bebeekamoon warri gocha mootittii kana dhagaʼan qondaaltota mootichaa hundaaf waanuma akkasii deebisu. Tuffii fi lola dhuma hin qabnetu uumama.
19 If it please the King, let a royal decree proceede from him, and let it be written among the statutes of Persia, and Media, (and let it not be transgressed) that Vashti come no more before King Ahashuerosh: and let the King giue her royal estate vnto her companion that is better then she.
“Kanaafuu yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise akka Waashtiin lammata fuula Ahashweroos Mootichaa duratti hin dhiʼeeffamneef inni labsii mootummaa haa labsu; labsiin sunis seera Faaresii fi Meedee kan diigamuu hin dandeenye sana keessatti haa barreeffamu. Mootichi amma illee sadarkaa ulfinaa kan isheen mootummaa keessatti qabdu dubartii biraa kan ishee caaltuuf haa kennu.
20 And when the decree of the King which shalbe made, shalbe published throughout all his kingdome (though it be great) all the women shall giue their husbands honour, both great and small.
Yoos yommuu labsiin mootichaa guutummaa mootummaa isaa keessatti labsamutti dubartoonni hundinuu xinnoo fi guddoon dhirsoota isaaniitiif ulfina kennu.”
21 And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan.
Mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa gorsa kanatti ni gammadan; kanaafuu mootichi yaada Memuukaan dhiʼeesse sana hojii irra oolche.
22 For he sent letters into all the prouinces of the King, into euery prouince according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their language, that euery man should beare rule in his owne house, and that he should publish it in the language of that same people.
Innis biyyoota mootummaa hundatti, tokkoo tokkoo kutaalee biyyaatiif qubeedhuma isaaniitiin, akkasumas tokkoo tokkoo sabaatiif afaanuma isaaniitiin xalayoota ergee akka dhiirri hundi bulchaa mana ofii isaa taʼu afaan gosa hundaatiin labse.
